I've been reading (off and on) A Place in Space, which is a collection of essays by Gary Snyder. His poetry has somewhat of a beat feel to it, but the essays seem to be mostly writing theory and zen philosophy. It's an interesting book, but rather heavy-handed sometimes. I do recommend his poetry, though.
I was actually planning on picking up Bluebeard tomorrow. Weird.
I just finished a Place in Space a few weeks ago. My philosophy teacher recommended it to me and i actually bought it. It was very interesting and was actually a quick read for me.
Just finished The Sirens of Titan and started Slapstick (yes, more Vonnegut). Also picked up Ender's Shadow and a book of short stories by Hemmingway while at B&N.
By the way, I strongly recommend The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z (both by Max Brooks) for anyone interested in surviving the zombie apocolypse.

Now THAT sounds amusing. I'll have to check the library.
Not directly, though most stores classify it in the humor section. I think that's because most people don't believe that a zombie outbreak could actually happen. If one were to, however, people who've read this book would be much less likely to die in a variety of horrible zombie and non-zombie related ways. It's a survival manual.
